PFRY.375

Pfry.375 is a type of Resettable Fuses commonly used on circuit boards. The device is used to protect a circuit from over-current scenarios, such as when an overload, short circuit or other fault occurs. It can be programmed for different current levels and will trip when the current exceeds or is below a certain level.

Resettable fuses, as the name implies, are designed to automatically reset once the cause of the trip has been eliminated. The benefit of such a device is that it eliminates the need for manual resetting after every incident. This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of burning out a fuse, saves time and money, and improves overall safety.

The Pfry.375 resettable fuse is a small, surface-mount device consisting of a conductive metal-oxide layer sandwiched between two layers of thin film materials. At the top of the device is a metal contact, also known as the positive terminal. The metal contact is connected to the positive lead of the component or circuit, and the lower layer of the device is the negative terminal, which is connected to the circuit\'s negative lead.

The metal contact is connected to a spring-loaded contact finger, which is responsible for the actual thermal cut-off. When the current reaches the level that sets off the thermal cutoff, the contact finger is pushed upward and disconnects the two terminals. This breaks the circuit, shielding the system from further damage, and serves as a signal to the regulator to shut down the circuit. Once the problem has been corrected, the two layers of the device will reconnect, and the circuit will resume its normal operation.

Pfry.375 resettable fuses are available in a wide range of current ratings, ranging from 2A up to 40A. They are also capable of being connected in both series and parallel arrangements, and may be mounted in either standard or high temperature packages. In addition, the device is available in different voltages and has a wide range of temperature operating ranges.

Pfry.375 resettable fuses can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, industrial, and medical applications. In automotive applications, the devices can be used to protect alternators, battery packs, power supplies, and more. In industrial applications, the devices are used to protect circuit boards from over-current scenarios, such as when an overload, short circuit, or other fault occurs.

In medical applications, the fuses can be used to protect medical devices from over-current scenarios. The device can also be used to protect high reliability systems from power faults. The device is also suitable for protecting sensitive control systems, as well as for providing over-current protection for railways and other transportation systems.

Pfry.375 resettable fuses provide a cost-effective solution for protecting circuit boards, and other electrical components, from over-current scenarios. The device is easy to install and can be replaced quickly and easily. The use of resettable fuses eliminates the need for manual resetting after every incident, thus reducing the likelihood of burning out a fuse and improving overall safety.
